Hi srg,

You can go to View>Studio>Reset to reset all right hand studio panels to default. If you are referring to the right hand toolbar, this can be toggled on and off through View>Show Tools.
We've had no recent reports of these toolbars acting of their own according, and there are no preset keyboard shortcut to show or hide these tools, besides TAB, which shows and hides all UI. What version of OS are you running please?

[srg]

I am running High Sierra V. 10.13.5

Here is a screen shot of one of the problems: I am on a basic brush tool and on the left upper corner I had the sixe intensity etc of the brush. No more. Same if I use other tools.

I found now it is the contest tool bar. but I did nothing to remove it or anything else.

Best.

The View menu > Show Context Toolbar item controls whether or not that toolbar is visible. It is possible to assign it a custom keyboard shortcut:

You might check to see if that is what caused the toolbar to disappear.

yes, P C-R the show context tool bar was the problem. I may have push the tab or done something by mistake, I wish there were less or more controllable shoirt cuts, often I hit them by mistake. Thanks

You don't have to assign a keyboard shortcut to show or hide the Context toolbar. For example, there is not one assigned in my screenshot.
